Step 1 done...it's a top. Now I have to stay focused and get the back pieced, baste and quilt the darn thing. I do love it. The quilt is made very much like this one. Each block is unique. I love how the randomness draws me in to look at each block as well as how the fabric ties it all together.The fabric is so gorgeous. So many have asked what it is and where I got it. It's "Feathered Friends" by Wendy Slotboom. I got most of mine from Contemporary Cloth and some from etsy. The birds are the most beautiful blues and there is a dash of green, this wonderful buttery yellow and barn red. It's happy fabric too.
This is my favorite block. I'm imagining daddy bird in an intense, extended discussion with mom about the benefits of an empty nest as the flighty teen zips out to an unknown destination.
Thought you might like to see these finished and warm and crinkly. I have so much to share, cookie recipes, fabulous mail, awards to acknowledge, blogs to read (I miss you all!), but it will have to wait....I have a quilt to finish.
I want to win this! You all know I'm trying to be crafty, creative and FIT. You should go enter too. Though I really want to win. Picture me in my tv room wii fitting all over the place.

Jacquie your quilt top is just beautiful. The colours in the fabrics are gorgeous and look so fresh and crisp with the solid white, and those Christmas mini's are adorable. You have been busy.
The top is great! I saw that fabric and almost bought the whole line a couple of weeks ago, but I used will power and resisted. Now I am rethinking that after seeing your quilt. Loving your other little finished quilts! Beautiful... get quilting girl! Have a terrific day!
I am in love with that Christmas tree quilt. It is just lovely. You must be as busy as a bee with all of these projects!
You go, girl! It's beautiful!

Those birds having the conversation are funny. I have those talks too. Your quilts are gorgeously crinkly and inviting. I want to make a new quilt! Just like yours......but alas, there is too much to do right now.
I love your new quilt top...you have been one busy, busy gal!

jacquie, Looks great! I gotta tell you, I do love a log cabin quilt. Can't wait to see it quilted! Happy quilting!
I love this top...your blog is great!
I look at everything that you create and do and I am speechless..and as I am trying to type in the dark...I am helpless. Can't type worth a damn, don't quilt, but I surely can recognize a beautiful person who can create and produce such wonders.
I am overwhelmed by your creativeness and your generosity.
Such specialness, and loving intention wrapped up in you.
It's really a lovely top, Jacquie! I am a sucker for anything blue. This is SAWEET! Good job! BTW, my wonky log cabin sold for $350. TY for your inspiration!
Love it! That fabric is great!

Love the combination of wintery blue with white. Love the bird fabric, too.
It's so pretty, and I love that it's blue!
Wow, oh wow. Your quilts are just devine. So much inspritation. I must make more quilts :-)
Jacquie, I do LOVE the blue bird's block ! The fabrics are so gorgeous. Do you always named the fabric there, I mean the designer always give them names? or is it only for the very good quality fabrics? here, we don't do that.
That fabric is so incredible. And you have showcased it perfectly! You always know exactly what to do to make things pop. I love your sense of design.
I *love* the fabric on the blue quilt! All of it is just delicious.
You Christmas quilts are adorable as well. You took a different tack than a lot of other peoples, and it turned out really well! (like the one hanging on my wall! Thanks!)
I love the blue in this quilt and I am looking forward to seeing it once the quilting is finished.
Have missed a few of your posts...Holy Cow...have you ever been busy. Love the quilt top, espically the bird print. Espically love the Common threads block and your trees...what can I say...All just lovely;)

Awesome, you got it done! I have some of that bird fabric too, I love it~
The Christmas topper is lovely too!
I just love your quilts! I am going to throw out all my fabric and buy all new stuff so I can make quilts like yours. Ok, well, maybe not throw it out, just buy more of it.
I am going to have to make something inspired by those funky Christmas trees. So cute!

Your christmas trees are adorable. Are you going to count them in your Christmas tree total? :)
The only bad thing about Wii fit is that it leaves less time for quilting. :)
